Hi deductibles where you have to spend $5K before you get coverage encourage never go to the doctor and pray that nothing major ever happens.

It's not the model that insurance is meant to develop.

Amazing how downhill care and coverage have gone just since 2000, when our office offered full premium no copay whatever happens you got it coverage.
